Racing on Home Waters: British Skipper Will Harris Leads Team Malizia Crew Into The Course des Caps
On Sunday 29 June, Team Malizia set sail for the season’s first race aboard Malizia - Seaexplorer. The Course des Caps is a brand-new IMOCA event, a 2,000-mile crewed challenge circumnavigating the British Isles, starting and finishing in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. Will Harris skippers the Malizia crew in his home waters, facing off against 10 rival teams. With the boat refitted and a challenging race course, this event promises to be an ideal kickoff to Team Malizia’s crewed racing season.
